The book begins by exploring the initial encounter between the paediatrician, child, and family, moves through the assessment process, including the formulation and the treatment contract, and then describes the various forms of treatment that are designed to settle the child's dysregulated stress system. This approach both provides a new understanding of how such symptoms emerge -- typically, through a history of recurrent or chronic stress, either physical or psychological -- and points the way to effective assessment, management, and treatment that put the child (and family) back on the road to health and well-being Analysis Psychotherapy and Counseling Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Psychotherapy Child and School Psychology Neuropsychology Counseling Psychology Child and Adolescence Psychology School Psychology Functional Somatic Symptoms neurological symptoms medically unexplained symptoms FSS psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) stress-based model neurobiology child and adolescent psychiatry Child and Adolescent Health pediatrics paediatrics Clinical Psychology open access Medical counselling Psychiatry Clinical psychology Child, developmental & lifespan psychology Physiological & neuro-psychology, biopsychology Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on November 19, 2020) Subject Somatoform disorders in children.
